My first post. after re-reading it, sounds a bit too harsh.

What I meant to say is that I don't, personnally, see the use of the cleaner
for personnal uses.  But as I said, maybe it didn't come out right, I wish
good luck to the people who created that cleaner.

Rick Clark explained to me in a friendly email that my "writing style has
the tendency to come across that way [condescending and dismissive]".  I'm
really sorry for that.  I know I'm repeating myself here, and maybe people
will think it's an excuse, but English is not my natural language, so I
often write in a blunt style.  I realize it can hurt people's feelings, so
that's why I want to :

1- Say I'm sorry if I hurted antones' feelings on this.  The cleaner is
probably a good idea, what I meant to express is my doubts about its utility.

2- Wish good luck to those who invented it.

But this doesn't change my perception of the thing.  I still think it's too
expansive for what it does compared to what can be achived with a little
elbow-oil (I don't know if this expression exists in English, in French,
huile de coude [elbow oil] means hard work, efforts).

Peace,

Terry

(...) I can't possibly see how your original post was harsh, condescending or dismissive. You're just stating your opinion and you should. The only person who could be possibly offended is Centerline, and at that, you're entitled to your opinion (...) (22 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) But wouldn't a piece of clothing and water-soap do the trick? 104$ for a gadget that will probably take more time cleaning the track than what you'd take to wide it clean with a cloth, it seems expansive to me. Furthemore, isn't it a waste of (...) (22 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)
